How TO Make Money

Many people who have accumulated
would be grateful to the man who would
tell them how TO invest it SO that it would
yield sure increase without danger of
loss. 1t is the danger. in fscs almost
the certainty of partial il not total loss of
capital that delers people from placing
their accumulations in nearly every line
of those enterprises known as specula>
tive ITO speculate" is to many only
another name for to gamble. There
is. however, one means of making even a
small capital accumulate and bear fruit,
with no chance of loss Real estate is a
commodity which has always an intrinsic
value; power of producing something
which gives it Il price, an impossibility
of destruction by any misfortune or acci-
dent which gives it stability. There
are two ways IN which person
can invest IN real estate small
OF large sum: The first by
loaning TO others portion of its
sessing what otherwise they could not.
and taking in return portion of the
product Of such property in the form of
interest. To those who are satisfied
with reasonable income from this in
vestment, this offers the best and safest
way to solve the problem. The other
way is by buying lands with the expecta>
ton of an increase in the value. This
will be affected more or less by circum~
stances, but the certainty of gaining
something, and the possibility of an in
crease far beyond any obtainabIe rate of
interest. would tempt anyone who would
season his investment with the flavor OF
speculation. Would you learn more of
this? Then call on me at my Office in
the ARGUS block. SAvILLE JOHNSTON.
